Outbound is FRA-PEK-NRT, return is NRT-PVG-ZRH
Required both transits are less than 24h, can the Norwegian join the group downtown, or does he have to stay at airport? Is overnighting in lounge/at airport even possible/advisable?
Still a few days to reschedule if this doesnt work. Or would be able to get a transit visa before leaving from a consulate not in country of residence- as he is on travel?
